Facebook Prudes

[AndyCohen]

For those of you who are anti Facebook updating while in labor, you would love my friend's approach! This was on my feed last night:

Today is the due date!!! Nothing happening yet. I am about to deactivate my wall. So don't ask what's going on. We will tell you when the time is right. And nobody post premature congratulations before we go public with it. or you're going to be in big trouble!

[TrudyCampbell]

Haha, nice!

[AndyCohen]

The best part is that its a guy.

Really? This makes me love it!

[Dorothy Zbornak]

Ha. I totally deactivated my wall when we left for the hospital.

[Regina Philange]

You can deactivate your wall?

[christidee]

I love it. Social media has gotten very invasive. If someone wants privacy, they should have it.

Yeah my SIL did the same to me.

That's great!

That's awesome! I didn't even think of that. I only told a couple people that I was being induced and not to say anything.

my sister did the same and spelled his name wrong.  Mad is an understatement.

I told everyone who came to the hospital and took pictures they would be dead meat if they posted a pic of Mia or put up any info until I did.

Oh Man I would have been heated!!

People are just so excited but demanding about wanting the details.. Our rule was that NO ONE got to know if D was a boy or girl until after H met her sibling. We explained this to everyone very nicely in advance but that 5 hour wait sent them all in a tizzy. We knew MIL would spill the beans to H and she was not going to ruin our sibling intro moment. Then when we announced girl we drove everyone crazy because we didn't decide the name until the next day.

When Juliana was born, we didn't have FB. But you know those tacky teddy bears the hospital sells in the gift shop? Well, my sister went and got one and put her name on it and all her stats...sweet huh? Well, it was except she spelled her first and middle name wrong and then when we pointed it out, she said....well, you haven't filled out the birth cert. yet, you can change it.

My husband was like....ok, we'll just change two family names because you can't spell. I wish I could find that bear and take a pic. I know I have it stored somewhere.

[teamhayes]

Oh my! that story is priceless. I would have checked and double checked the name. I am sure the bear wasn't cheap either.
